The apple cider vinegar production line refers to a beverage made by fermenting apple juice into vinegar and then mixing it with raw materials such as apple juice. It’s not the seasoning in the kitchen. Mixing apple cider vinegar with apple juice creates a sour and sweet taste, with a hint of sweetness and sourness. It not only dissolves the raw vinegar flavor of the vinegar, but also adds the sweet aroma of fruit juice, making it very refreshing to drink.

Process flow of apple cider vinegar production equipment:

1. Solid state fermentation process flow:

Fruit raw materials → Removing rotten parts → Cleaning → Crushing → Adding a small amount of rice husk and yeast → Solid state alcohol fermentation → Adding bran, rice husk, and acetic acid bacteria → Solid state acetic acid fermentation → Vinegar spraying → Sterilization → Aging → Finished product

2. Process flow of fully liquid fermentation method:

Fruit raw materials → Removing rotten parts → Cleaning → Crushing and juicing (removing fruit residue) → Coarse fruit juice → Inoculating yeast → Liquid alcohol fermentation → Adding acetic acid bacteria → Liquid acetic acid fermentation → Filtering → Sterilization → Aging → Finished product

3. Process flow of pre liquid and post solid fermentation method:

Fruit raw materials → Removing rotten parts → Cleaning → Crushing and juicing (removing fruit residue) → Coarse fruit juice → Inoculating yeast → Liquid alcohol fermentation → Adding bran, rice husk, and acetic acid bacteria → Solid state acetic acid fermentation → Vinegar pouring → Finished product

Detailed steps for producing apple cider vinegar

(1) Fermentation: Nowadays, wine yeast is commonly used, which can be directly inoculated into fruit juice at a dosage of 150 milligrams per kilogram. After fermentation, extract the wine and let it sit for more than a month to promote clarification and improve acidification quality. The traditional processing method no longer clarifies after fermentation, but when making apple cider vinegar entirely from concentrated apple juice, separation and fine filtration are necessary to obtain a clarified product.

(2) Acidification: The commonly used acidification method now is the continuous aeration deep culture fermentation method. Using a Fring type acidifier, a portion of apple cider vinegar can be periodically discharged from the top of the fermentation tank during operation, while new raw materials are added from the bottom.

(3) Aging: After acidification, the product is pumped into wooden barrels or stainless steel tanks for aging. Aging can enhance aroma and improve clarity, reducing turbidity after bottling. In the past, the aging time was usually around one year. As the demand for apple cider vinegar increased, the production continued to increase. If the storage capacity was too large, the cost increased. Therefore, now it is generally aged for 1-2 months.

(4) Clarification and filling: Fully aged apple cider vinegar is filtered and diluted with water to an appropriate concentration (usually 5% for retail), then sterilized by a plate heat exchanger at a temperature range of 65-85 ℃. After sterilization, it can be hot filled in glass bottles or cooled and placed in plastic bottles. The content of Acetobacter in deep culture fermented apple cider vinegar is high, and high-temperature sterilization is used. To avoid turbidity after bottling, activated carbon or gelatin and diatoms can be used for clarification before coarse filtration and dilution.
